Chevrolet Equinox Key Fob Battery Type and Replacement

Each row links to the full specification for that generation, including trim-by-trim breakdowns and the part numbers. Where engines within a generation differ, that page separates them.

The key fob battery on a Chevrolet Equinox is set by its generation, not its model year, so each generation has one page carrying the complete figures, part numbers and fitment notes for every year it covers.

What battery does the Chevrolet Equinox key fob take?

A single CR2450 (changed from the CR2032 used through 2024) coin cell.

Can you use a CR2032 instead of a CR2025 in a Chevrolet Equinox key fob?

This fob takes a CR2450 (changed from the CR2032 used through 2024), so start there. The two cells share a 20 mm diameter but differ in thickness, and the thicker one does not always seat in a housing built for the thinner.

How do you open a Chevrolet Equinox key fob?

Slide out the mechanical emergency key first, which usually releases a catch, then part the halves with a plastic pry tool or a coin wrapped in tape. A screwdriver will mark the case and can crack the seam.
